Eek! We've been so busy studying the two biggest estuaries in the US, we almost forgot about #EstuariesWeek
As part of the #FoulingProject we are collecting samples from marinas around both #ChesBay and #SFBay

We then take them back to the labs at @SmithsonianEnv and #SERCWest @EOS_Center and process the panels with a coarse identification of the invertebrates that settle on them and take vouchers and samples for DNA analysis.

Depending on location in the bay, the panels can look very different and contain different assemblages of organisms. #InvertebratesRule #FoulingProject #EstuariesWeek #ChesBay
Please help us welcome our 2020 #intern class! Some of the class is virtual, focusing on coding and data analysis, while a few of our interns will be able to do limited socially distant #fieldwork.
First up is Rémy Barbiéro! Rémy is a rising senior at @Occidental, and will be working on the #ZombieCrabs Project. Rémy will help create a #CitizenScience project on @the_zooniverse to count parasitized crabs from Chesapeake Bay. Welcome!
Time to meet another of our amazing summer #interns
Welcome Tyler Kempton! Tyler is a local high school student who is working on using #R to prepare an analyze data from our #InvaderID project. He works with the @SmithsonianEnv Citizen Science department.

BREAKING: On Wednesday evening in #Pinole, #BayArea community members will pack the room at a @USACESPN hearing to speak against the Army Corps proposal to dredge #SanFrancisco Bay and Carquinez Strait. #tarsandsfreesfbay #protectthebay #sfbay Read more 👇 stand.earth/latest/people-…
@USACESPN Opponents call the Army Corps proposal to dredge #SanFrancisco Bay and Carquinez Strait a move by #BigOil and @realDonaldTrump to expand the #fossilfuel industry in #California to increase imports of Canadian #tarsands #crudeoil and exports of US #coal.
@USACESPN @realDonaldTrump 18K people signed a petition to stop the Army Corps from doing the bidding of #BigOil by dredging #SanFrancisco Bay and Carquinez Strait. Petition calls on local leaders @RepDeSaulnier @JohnGaramendi
@JohnGaramendi @RepThompson @SenFeinstein @KamalaHarris to oppose the project.

BREAKING: Two #fossilfuel storage tanks have exploded at #NuStar, a tank farm next to the #Phillips66 refinery near #Crockett & #Rodeo in the #BayArea. No reported casualties, according to @KTVU. The explosion likely caused an adjacent brush fire. ktvu.com/news/fire-at-c…
@KTVU Our thoughts are with #firstresponders and community members in the #EastBay as a shelter in place has been ordered. Stay safe and don't go outdoors until the order is lifted. Check the latest on the @CCCounty Community Warning System here: cwsalerts.com
@KTVU @CCCounty A situation like today's #NuStar tank farm explosion in #EastBay is exactly why we must put a stop to the expansion of #fossilfuel infrastructure in the #BayArea and around the world. Learn more about the movement to #ProtectTheBay: protectthebay.org
(Thread) A scientist’s view of the urgent need for @GavinNewsom to sign SB#1, written by @sentoniatkins.
Like every scientist concerned with preventing #extinction of #SFBay’s fish species, I want #endangeredspecies management to use only the best available science. 1/

@GavinNewsom @SenToniAtkins I supported then-Secretary @sallyjewell's call to review #endangeredspeciesact safeguards for the Bay’s imperiled fish species. Those reviews were necessary bc endangered fish continued to decline; Jewell wrote that she expected the review to lead to increased protections. 2/
@GavinNewsom @SenToniAtkins @sallyjewell Then science-denialists in the Trump Administration manipulated the scientific process used to develop @NOAAFisheries scientific review and tried to bury the best available science. latimes.com/environment/st…
